About DED, Dubai

The Department of Economic Development (DED) was established in March 1992, with the objective to organize, regulate and boost trade and industry within the Emirate of Dubai.

DED is still responsible for business registration, licensing and commercial protection in Dubaihowever with four new agencies under the umbrella of DED, the mandate has extended to include export development, retail development, entrepreneurship development and foreign investment.

There are certain regulations and policies amended by the government that administers the operation of mainland companies in UAE. One of the most important laws associated with mainland business sets revolves around the company equity share.

The implementation of reforms to the Commercial Companies Law with effect from June 2021 by the Government of UAE will transform the future of business. The UAE government has allowed for 100% foreign ownership for the businesses located on the mainland. Earlier, the expat business owners were only allowed to own a maximum of 49% ownership of their business while the remaining 51% share belonged to the Emirati sponsor. Now, the foreigners opening a company in Dubai will no longer need an Emirati shareholder or agent under changes to UAE company law.
